Emily Godfrey, male missionary and walking infant, Nigeria, ca. 1934

Black and white photograph printed onto a postcard showing Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Methodist Missionary Society hospital at Ama Achara, southeast Nigeria. She stands with another male missionary holding onto a small Nigerian boy, who stands between them. The boy may be one of the patients or orphans cared for by the Ama Achara hospital, since the image appears to have been taken there. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey.
